*Corresponding author's address: Laboratoire de Mécanique et d'Acoustique, CNRS-LMA, Marseille, 13402, France, France,[email protected] This paper considers the simulation of self-sustained oscillations in reed and brass instruments, based on a compact continuous-timeformulation of the sound production mechanism. The control parameters such as the mouth pressure and the player's embouchure, but also theacoustic resonator and the reed may vary with respect to time, allowing the analysis of transient and non-stationary phenomena like changes ofregime. A particular attention is first given to staccato notes, with comparison of the evolution of the instantaneous frequency in simulations totheoretical and experimental results. This shows the importance of using realistic control parameters on the onset of the oscillations. When theacoustic resonator is modelled using a modal expansion with non-stationary resonance frequencies and damping, it is also possible to simulateand study slurs and musical effects like the wah-wah, gaining some insight on the mechanisms involved.
